KEY POINTS

  • Stephen "tWitch" Boss left a suicide note alluding to his past challenges in life in his motel room
  • It was reportedly unclear what experience tWitch was exactly referring to in his note
  • Twitter users have mixed opinions after learning that Boss left a suicide note

Stephen "tWitch" Boss reflected on the challenges in his life in his suicide letter, according to a report.

Boss left a clue about his decision to end his life. Law enforcement sources told TMZ about the suicide note, alluding to the challenges he faced in the past, found at the scene.

The suicide note has ambiguous references to the past challenges he encountered. However, it remains unclear what exactly he was referring to, the outlet noted.

Boss talked multiple times to his grandfather, Eddy Boss, on Saturday, just three days before he was found dead. Eddy was "not sure" if his grandson died from suicide after the LAPD confirmed that it was a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" that killed him.

However, he said that Boss' last message to him had a meaning. The "Ellen DeGeneres Show" DJ sent his love to his grandfather in their last conversation.

"Every word has meaning. His last words to me were a simple text that says 'I love you Dad-Dad.' Our question is why? Where did it come from?" he told Daily Mail.

Eddy urged the others to check on their loved ones from time to time because Boss didn't show any signs that he was troubled the last time they spoke.

Meanwhile, Twitter users reacted after learning about the suicide note. Many believed that Boss was probably going through depression which was why he killed himself.

"Rest in peace, Boss. [Y]ou may have suffered, but you left a joy of light to all who loved you," one commented. Another added, "In order to commit suicide, you have to feel that there is no hope. We never know what someone else is thinking or how they feel. Total despair. Very sad. We are no one to judge. May God help his family through this tough time."

"He had such a sweet soul, had amazing enthusiasm, confidence and kindness. Truly a sign to check up on the people you love," a third person wrote.

Meanwhile, a few disapproved of Boss' decision to end his life no matter what he was going through.

"Coward," one wrote. A second user added, "I can't imagine a challenge so great as to take your own life, which inflicts enormous pain upon your family."

"Wow, some of these comments...tsk tsk. People who lack compassion and clearly do not have education on mental illness leaving comments with views [that] contribute to the spiraling of our mental Healthcare crisis. You are part of the problem," another user wrote, expressing disbelief to those who chose not to sympathize with Boss.

Boss booked an Uber to a nearby motel Monday morning. He switched off his phone to airplane mode so no one could reach or track him. His wife, Allison Holker, went frantic and reached out to the LAPD Tuesday because her husband left home without notice and wasn't answering her call.
